Every day I get texts from a different democratic PAC. I want to opt out of any and all until I see actionable change. Stop2end and report spam are time and emotionally exhausting. 😔

Thanks to the man with dog in Charlestown by Pier 8 for asking how I was and hanging out until my date left after I ended it with wishing good luck. #niceguys

Spogomi competition in Boston or Cambridge anyone?
Spogomi - the sport of competitive litter picking.

I had no idea this was a thing, but what great idea by the Japanese to help clear up parks & public spaces.

In Hackney Marshes this weekend!

As the crowd at #HandsOff Boston files into City Hall Plaza, someone got up on a barrier waving the flag, and folks started singing the Star Spangled Banner.

This too is America.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

I am so cold right now, but I just signed up for this in March:

I was reading a Buzzfeed article on reassuring facts and I came across one that said, If he met you, there's a strong chance Mr Rogers he'd be very proud of how far you've come.

My shoulders came down, so I'm sharing it.
